Indigenous Psychology as a Remedy for the Dualism and Desacralization of Modern Western Psychology

Abstract

As if out of nowhere psychological trauma has become a commonly used term in everyday conversation. The fact that trauma on a collective level is so widely discussed today is itself a disclosure of not only vulnerability, but the precarious state, if not, spiritual crisis, of the modern world. It beckons the question, is there something triggering about the modern world itself that is creating these conditions? Or is it just a matter of a heightened awareness of trauma and historical trauma, known as transgenerational trauma or intergenerational trauma.
